Default Design assistance please!

First, galloping horse rules apply please!
I am having difficulty planning how to lay out these squares into a queen bed quilt. They are approximately 12 inches square. I plan to border in the print material, (quite wide) with a thin border of the dark blue between the squares and wide outer border. When I see just these four, I like how it looks, and I like the secondary pattern that emerges from the four corners being united.
When I try and lay out beyond this, I cannot find a look I like.
I have enough fabric to make more of any/all of these accent colours.

This has been a WIP for over a year, it's not like I have to hurry, but I would like to get it finished.

Any suggestions would be welcome. The pattern is called "Filtered Sunlight" by Judith Sandstrom. I adapted her pattern from 2 blocks of 18" each to 4 blocks of approx 12" each. Her pattern alternated blocks across each row like a checkerboard.
